Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information regarding the wording of the question:
"respondents were asked specifically about a flexible work arrangement that they had used in the last year. Thus, depending on which arrangement they had used, respondents were asked, ‘What was the main reason you started working flexi-time?’ or ‘…started working in a job share?’ or ‘…started working reduced hours?’ etc."
